btw, thanks for the snippet! Worked well for me.

I did this, the job ran successfully but returned the following warning:

WARNING: curl_setopt() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given

Is this an issue? Does it mean I missed something?

It depends. I’m not sure if you’re new to code or just new to WordPress.

First, check if the theme you are using has a place to add custom css. If so, that is the simplest thing to do.

Otherwise, you’d want to create a child theme, and put it in your style.css.
Here’s some general info on child themes, and here’s a step-by-step tutorial on them.

Hide it with CSS?
.single .subhead h1 {
display: none;
}

Then the theme dev has done something strange to it, because when I check using Chrome’s element inspector, that pops up as an h1 tag, not a menu (as a WP menu should.)

trevonmpro, you should start a new thread to get answers for your specific problem.

proverbs, it’s hard to say without being able to see the theme’s dashboard. A theme designer could have done practically anything… it does sound like it has to do with the theme. You might be best off switching themes. (You can test issues by switching to a default WP theme like 2012 or 2013 and seeing if your issues persist, but it sounds like you’re saying your issues are theme-specific.)

If you decide to pick a new theme, you may find it helpful to google first for reviews, or for lists of quality free themes to select from.

The problem is that you can’t embed javascript in a regular WordPress page.
There are ways to include it http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_Javascript#Using_Multiple_Javascript_Files_inside_one_post_or_page , or, you could put it in a function (put in your child theme’s functions.php) and create a shortcode, which you can put in a page.

There are also plugins you can install which allow you to insert javascript in pages without it getting stripped. I don’t know of any off-hand, but you should find some if you search.

I’m not clear from your post if you did this already, but any page that you set as the “Front page” in General Settings > Reading will become the home page, i.e., it will show up as just the domain. You need to pick an actual page. You create the page, call it “home” or whatever you want, then set it as the front page.
